Two ancient tombs believed to date from the Warring States Period (475 B.C.- 221 B.C.) discovered in Lu'an, in east China's Anhui Province, have finally been reveald after an 18-day excavation. The coffins discovered in the two ancient tombs were be lifted out of the earth on Monday.
The tombs were found in early April and had been placed in the same direction, with one on the north end of the space and the other on the south end with a distance of ten meters between the tombs.
Local archaeologists said that the tombs had never been pillaged.
Because the coffins were made using high-quality wood, the contents of the tombs have been well-preserved.
